Dear Swift Families,

It’s hard to believe we are down to our last 9 days of school!! We thank you for your continued support as we finish out the year.
I tried to send this last night as our normal Friday news; however, was without power for much of the evening at my house. So this week, it is Saturday news!

A $269 million-dollar balanced budget for the 2023-2024 school year was unanimously passed by the Abbotsford Board of Education on Tuesday evening, at their last public Board meeting for the current school year.

The Abbotsford School District celebrated the 2023 retirees with a retirement dinner held on June 7, 2023, at the Clarion Hotel. The event marked an opportunity to recognize the significant contributions and unwavering dedication of the retiring Superintendent, Operations Management, Administrators, Teachers, and Support staff who have devoted their careers to shaping young minds.

The Abbotsford Board of Education regularly meets throughout the school year. Agendas and minutes from the public Board Meetings can be accessed through the District's Electronic School Board. Below is a summary of highlights from the meeting. 

Dear Swift Families,

It seems almost surreal that we are entering our last 4 weeks of school – on the other hand, so much has happened this year, everyone is ready for summer. We thank you for your continued support as we finish out the year.

Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care, has issued the following statement to mark Pride 2023 and celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in B.C.'s education system:
"The month of June is a time for all in K-12 education throughout B.C. to hear more about Pride month, recognize and celebrate the contributions of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and learn more about the significance and origins of events that started out of protest, like the Pride parade.

The Abbotsford School District is proud to announce the establishment of Instructional Support Staff Appreciation Day, dedicated to recognizing the invaluable contributions of Educational Assistants, Youth Care Workers, International Student Liaisons, and Indigenous Support Workers. Starting this June, with the inaugural celebration occurring today, this appreciation day will continue to be observed annually by the school district on the first Thursday of June.

We have gotten to the end of our Star Student Year and are excited to be announcing the last Star Students of 2022-2023.
